Expo 2020 to drive construction boom in United Arab Emirates

Sentiment in the UAE's construction sector is optimistic at the moment as the region prepares for the upcoming Expo 2020. The event could be a catalyst for the UAE construction industry. The rise in oil prices could also be beneficial for contractors since regional governments are beginning to restart old projects or invest in new infrastructure development. The only concerns remain about the volume of works after 2020.
